Grilled Dijon Burgers with Onions

Total time: 25 minutesMade with hot, spicy Dijon-style mustard and served with grilled sweet onions, these are not your normal burgers! Use more or less mustard if you like... you could even add a drop or 2 of Tabasco...

Ingredients:

12oz (360gr) ground beef (mince)

2 tbs dried breadcrumbs

1 1/2 tbs Dijon-style mustard

1 tbs red wine

1 tsp garlic powder

1 large red or sweet onion

Basting Sauce:

2 tbs olive oil

2 tbs Dijon mustard

2 tbs red wine

1 tbs Worcestershire Sauce

Instructions:

Burgers:

Mix breadcrumbs, mustard, red wine and garlic powder.

Add beef and mix thoroughly - hands work best.

Shape into 3 or 4 patties.

Oil hinged basket. Place patties in basket and cook on barbecue grill over direct heat for 4 - 5 minutes per side, basting each side with sauce.

Or sauté in nonstick skillet for same amount of time, basting.

Onions:

Slice onion into 1/2" (1.25 cm) thick slices.

Brush both sides of slices with basting sauce and put on a mesh grill pan (the idea is not to have the slices fall through the grate into the fire....)

Cook over direct heat 4 - 5 minutes per side, turning once or until they have a nice color and are crisp-tender.

Or sauté in nonstick skillet for same amount of time, basting.

Basting Sauce:

Put olive oil, mustard, red wine and Worcestershire in a small bowl, stir well to combine.
